| Cinderella: I’m as mild and as meek as a mouse
|
| When I hear a command I obey.
|
| But I know of a spot in my house
|
| where no one can stand in my way.
|
| In my own little corner in my own little chair
|
| I can be whatever I want to be.
|
| On the wings of my fancy I can fly anywhere
|
| and the world will open its arms to me.
|
| I’m a young Egyptian princess or a milkmaid
|
| I’m the greatest prima donna in Milan
|
| I’m an heiress who has always had her silk made
|
| By her own flock of silkworms in Japan
|
| I’m a girl men go mad for love’s a game I can play with
|
| cool and confident kind of air.
|
| Just as long as I stay in my own little corner
|
| All alone in my own little chair.
|
| I can be whatever I want to be.
|
| I’m a theif in Calcutta I’m a queen in Peru.
|
| I’m a mermaid dancing upon the sea
|
| I’m a huntress on an African safari. |
| it’s a dangerous type of sport and yet
|
| it’s fun
|
| In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry
|
| And I find I forgot to bring my gun.
|
| I am lost in the jungle all alone and unarmed when I meet a lioness in her lair |
| Then I’m glad to be back in my own little corner,
|
| All alone in my own little chair. |
